Hair can be lost on the body for the following reasons;

1) low thyroid levels

2) nerve damage (CMT and neuropathy)

3) Rubbing on clothes

4) simple aging (hormone effects)

5) poor circulation

6) Chemotherapy or toxins which kill the hair follicles

Probably other things too, but that is all I can think of at the moment.
